Roses have been revered across cultures for their beauty, fragrance, and medicinal virtues. Ancient Persian and Roman physicians used Rosa damascena and Rosa gallica in the preparation of rosewater and rose oil, valued for treating infections, inflammatory skin conditions, and emotional disturbances. Rosa gallica, known as the “Apothecary’s Rose,” became a cornerstone of European herbalism, cultivated for its astringent and tonic effects that supported wound healing, menstrual regularity, and digestive balance.

In North America, Indigenous peoples such as the Coast Salish and other tribes used the rose hips from wild species like Rosa nutkana as a concentrated source of vitamin C—brewed into teas and syrups to strengthen resilience during colds, fevers, and times of nutritional scarcity.
